Why do some people turn to violent means and others peace?
Min seje søster med en opsang til den skammeligt forsømte offentlige psykiatri: ‘Personaleflugt fra den offentlige psykiatri: »Jeg tænkte, det her må fucking slutte. Jeg skulle bare væk, væk, væk«’ politiken.dk/8957183
Deeply uncomfortable, but mandatory reading for anyone concerned about Afghanistan. Hugely satisfying to have played a tiny role in bringing this important research out.
How have the #Taliban’s state-building efforts in #Afghanistan fared since their takeover? This @XCEPT_Research report by @AlcisGeo & @mansfieldintinc reveals surprising successes in reducing corruption and improving revenue collection: bit.ly/3cHRqow @FCDOREDGCSD
Wonderful to celebrate (23/4) the end (at least of this phase) of my 25 year career as a civil servant with brilliant, committed colleagues and a few surprise guests. It has been a privilege. My parting messages for the challenges ahead: 1/8 (apologies for late post)
How has life under #Daesh’s brutal rule impacted adolescents? How can #ConflictPrevention & #stabilisation programmes meet young people’s needs? At this @XCEPT_Research event on 26 May, #policy & research experts will discuss these important questions. bit.ly/3PtCKs1
Blending hi-tech methods like #SatelliteImagery with field data has transformed #ConflictResearch, improving insight into hard-to-access areas. A comprehensive understanding of crises is crucial if policymakers are to design effective responses. Read more: bit.ly/37vaeoT
There is a vital need to understand the opportunities and risks of #satellite and #geospatial data. Last week, @CharlotteHWatts explained how @XCEPT_Research provides just this sort of cutting-edge learning in #ConflictResearch 📹View the full event: bit.ly/35o4nQX

What’s a little rain when you’ve got amazing support all along a fantastic London Royal Parks Half Marathon route? Great added bonus: So pleased to support @WChildCancer with today’s run. #royalparkshalf #worldchildcancer
NYT found the president "participated in dubious tax schemes," including "outright fraud," in its year-long investigation. Meet the Press, This Week, Face the Nation, and Fox News Sunday ignored it: bit.ly/2E8XrsO
After Dr. Blasey Ford’s tremendously brave testimony, a good day to recall Millicent Fawcett: “Courage calls to courage everywhere.” #kavanaughhearings #thankyoudrford #metoo
As with the Comey hearings last summer, I’m struck - and frightened - by the extent to which different sides in these cases don’t just disagree, but actually seem to *experience* the exact same events in polar opposite ways. We’re beyond facts here.
Fox is eating this shit up, by the way. "He came out swinging" is the mood. It didn't matter that he was weeping, ranting, lachrymose, wildly entitled—he was seen as strong and "aggressive," i.e. masculine.
The Bashar al-Assad regime’s indiscriminate air strikes have terrorized civilians for years. Now a small band of Syrian activist-entrepreneurs is building a sensor network that listens for warplanes and warns people when and where the bombs will fall. wired.trib.al/Dtmpcj8
